I love these “retro kids.” They like old things like old bikes/cars, collect records, wear vintage clothes… it all usually accompanies good personalities… old souls.

I think the black rims against the blackwall tires looks awesome!
I find they make the rims look like there bigger than they are. I looked all over town for whitewalls. Only thing I could find were those garbage one from the rubber factory in China. I've gone down that road junk
I dig those Tommy TuTones even better on the bike. Cool and unusual. The extra black ties in with the black chainguard accents.

After looking at the ANI, muting my headset mic and chuckling for a brief moment - "Maam, call Southern Bell and have your phone number changed."
There is a term I haven't heard in a long time!
We use it way up here all the time
I grew up with it, then it became BellSouth, and now it's AT&T all over again.
It's my week with my little guy all your love has made him so very happy thank you.
Had to move the head light. The fender block the light. Then my dynamo quite working it was old.so added the frame pump to hide the batteries and put a switch on there to so both lights come on at the same time.
Due to a PCB spill I'm going to have to call this one finished. I had a blast and have put over 600 km 372miles for Americans. So I guess it's been done for a while.
So I'll end it with a photo shoot
These photos are significant because the original owner bought the bike in these lost villages. The town was flooded out in the 60s so it would have passed many of these buildings in its lifetime. It was so cool when they let me take pictures inside the buildings. It's a huge part of the history of where @MattiThundrrr and I are from.

This little gem was there to. Matti tried to ride it last year they said no but I got to there's a great change it was sold in the same place as Canadian metal
But it's not a CCM the head badge is in half and painted over but looks like Columbia (not the same as American)

I should explain the frame pump wish took pics of me putting it together.the dynamo stopped working so I switched to batteries.
All the batteries are in there with a rotary switch you turn the top of the handle the lights turn on.

Looking terrific! Great idea on using the frame pump to hide the batteries.

I can barely get in the door at that place, and it's open to the public. Ingola gets in, brings a bike inside, and gets a ride on that old beauty to boot?
Nice work, man! Canadian Metal opening doors! Bike looks fantastic there, some good pics to choose from

Killer idea to use the frame pump to hide the batteries. It looks so natural with the bike too.
Great build, great pics, great history with the lost villages place.
Well done!!!
